AI Crypto Options Analysis: Trace the Conclusion Back to the Tool Results

Options conclusions involve IV, Greeks, OI and exposure models. Each number should appear in a tool result with its instrument, expiry and snapshot time.

Short answer

To verify an AI options analysis, trace IV figures to ticker or book-summary calls (mark vs bid/ask, with timestamp), OI to per-instrument data in coins, max pain to an OI table for one expiry, and exposure claims to a model with a stated positioning assumption. Recompute max pain or put/call ratios from the fetched data where possible. Claims about expiries or venues not fetched are unsupported.

Illustrative: the AI's max pain used OI from every expiry; recomputed for Friday's expiry alone, it moved by 2,000.
